Firefox cannot follow links to local files stored on a vpn

we have an intranet set up using wikimedia. links to stored files are presented thus:
file://vpn/wikifiles/claims/test/test.edx
however firefox displays it in info bar as:
file:///wikifiles/claims/test/test.edx
and therefore the link doesnt work. for some reason it seems to be ignoring the "vpn". files linked on a local C drive work fine.
thanks

any way for firefox users to get around this, like an addon or configuration change? many people who go to the site I listed would like to know.

Acrobat 8.1- links to local files

Hello,
I'm having several MS-Word-files, which have to be converted to PDF. All files contain hyperlinks to web sites as well as links to files on our local file-server.
Conversion works fine out of MS Word 2003, but links to local files do only work, if I open the created file on the file server. If I up load it to our web server and open it with a browser, the local files can not be found (links to Internet do work).
If I edit the link properties within the created file by changing the performed action from 'open a file' to 'open a web link', starting the URL with 'file://...', the links work correct.
Is there any possibility to tell Acrobat, that this has do be done while converting MS-Word-files?
I even tried to change the absolute address within MS-Word, e.g. adding http:\\ to the link, but Word didn't allow this...

Thank so much.
But in other PCs the link works fine. It only happens in my Acrobat 9 Pro. In my mates PC the links works perfect.
Any suggestions? Maybe this is a windows problem?
Thanks!

Link to binary file stored in CMS?

Hello,
I'm using WebLogic Portal 8.1 SP5 and storing PDF & DOC files as assets in the WebLogic CMS. I'm trying to present links to these files in a portlet (pageflow). I'm currently using the following tags to display the links but am having some difficulty.
<cm:getNode path="/BEA Repository/Folder/SomeFile" id="node"/>
<ad:render id="node"/>
I've also tried using a placeholder but had the same behaviour.
<ol>
<li>The a href text is always "/BEA Repository/Folder/SomeFile". Is it possible to customize this? I'd like to display the file title</li>
<li>The a href URL is /BEA+Repository/Folder/SomeFile. Is it possible to have the URL be the same as the binary file that's stored in the CMS or do I have to explicitly set the asset's name the same as the file itself?</li>
</ol>

Thanks,

Cotter

If you want to create a link to the file in the repository, I suggest you use the ShowBinaryServlet.
From javadoc...
public class ShowBinaryServlet
extends ShowPropertyServlet
Writes a Binary property of a Node to the response OutputStream. The available paramater options are as follows:
# 1) Pass the node Id in as a request parameter. Eg. http://server:port/app/ShowBinary?nodeId=/repo/12345.
# 2) Pass the node path as part of the the request pathInfo. Eg. http://server:port/app/ShowBinary/repo/path/file.ext.
# 3) Pass the node path in as a request parameter. Eg. http://server:port/app/ShowBinary?nodePath=/repo/path/file.ext

Linking to local files - strange behavior

Hi all,
when I insert a link to a local file (using Insert > Hyperlink and then selecting "File" in the dropdown list), then Robohelp changes the absolute path to a relative path when saving the topic. Naturally this link does not work in a CHM.
I can resolve the issue in the HTML view by changing the path back to an absolute reference such as:
file://C:/Test/Hello_World.htm
Such a link works in the CHM. However, I cannot get it to work in the TOC. I have checked the HHC and can verify that the path still is absolute there, yet the page does not open when clicked.
Any ideas?
Robert

Hi Robert
This is one purpose or reason you would use Baggage Files.
Add the file you are linking to as a Baggage File and link to the baggage file.
This may also have issues inside a CHM output though. But before we delve into the possible issues, give it a try and see if it works for you. It may work straight away. If so, that's great. But if you start seeing issues, post back for more help.
Cheers... Rick

Firefox Sync transfers bookmarks to local files ("file:" scheme) (probably it shouldn't)

Firefox Sync transfers local files' links ("file:" URI scheme)

just an update... this is really starting to freak me out for sure. I've just had another InDesign file I created this morning disappear from my local folder on my mac. It actually is lost now as Time Machine doesn't have reference to it, so I have to recreate it again...
The only thing I can think of that seemed out of the ordinary is I got a 'Sync failed' message this morning and I noticed my synced fonts not working (only got 2 but I really needed them for an update to a project - so that gave me a scare as well). Anyway it seemed to get back on track but it was just after I created this file.
This is really making me think of ditching the file sync thing. Any response from someone in the know would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Selecting the link in local files

Hi, I have cs5 and before had mx2004,
when I work I always used to click on the name of the page (the link) on the local file list,
then automatically it was higlighted and I just clicked on copy,
with cs5 when I click on the link its higlighted but leaves the extension out, that makes me
past the link without the extension, this is very irritating and I dont see the reason to do so.
Is there a way I can configure this?
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I understand your question. To add a hyperlink to your web page:
1. Highlight some text or select an image on your page.
2. Click inside the Link Field on the HTML properties panel (Ctrl+F3).
3. Click on the folder (browse) icon next to the Link Field.
4. Select a file from your local site. Hit OK.
Does this help?

Firefox crashes when opening a local file (a .jpg photo) click drive, click directory and it crashes.

Firefox crashes when clicking FILE / OPEN FILE / Drive (G:)/and when double clicking the directory containing the file. It happens every time I'm trying to open a local file. Must close, go to Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome which have no problems doing this.

You are running out of memory. In the stack notice this line:
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Edit the sqldeveloper.conf file and add this
AddVMOption -Xmx1024M
That will bump it up some.

[Desktop] Link & Unlink Local Files

This recent update is really ruining my playlists by linking completely different files on my computer to albums that I am trying to stream.
For instance, Babymetal's Red Night album. If you look at the picture I attached, every single one of the songs on Black Night where the artist name of Babymetal is white instead of grey has been linked to Red Night, even though they are completely different versions of the songs. When I am trying to play a Red Night track, instead of playing the Red Night track, it just says it is and plays the linked Black Night track instead as if I can't notice a difference. So, essentially, despite the fact that I am paying the premium fee, nearly the entire Red Night album is unavailable to me because I have completely different local files being linked to it. This is completely asinine. There used to be an absolutely necessary feature in which you could rightclick on a song and select an option to unlink it from a local file. This needs to be brought back immediately.

I can't agree more to have this unlink feature installed as soon as possible.I now have to use two players (spotify for music I do not have) and poweramp (for music I have local)This is the only I know way to be able to have all the music off line. If I download my local music (4000 songs) through spotify, my music is replaced by spotify music resulting in reaching the download limit of 3333 songs. Maybe they have to limit this feature to premium customers if that would make sense from business point of view.Major drawback of my approach - I can't shuffle all the music anymore and have to choose which collection I'm going to take before start playingSo I'm willing to tolerate this for some time, but thius has to be solved within the coming months or I will look for alternatives.

Cannot export result to local file in EBP

HI Experts,
I have created a report for displaying self approved shopping carts. When I run this report in SAPGUI I am able to trasnport the result of the report to local file and also send the result through mail.
But when I run the same report in WebGUI(EBP) I am not able to save the report to local file. Also the option for sending the output through mail is coming greyed out.
Kindly advice.
Thanks and Regards
Manoj Upadhyay

Yes, The problem with the standrad program. I think there is a need to apply some patch. you just try this with some other server (if avail) i hope it works.

Reliable way to sync/link activities between files stored in sharepoint

Hello, we have two different Microsoft project files A and B. Both files are stored in a SharePont workspace. In file A there are tasks that needs to be copied (and synchronized) to B. Currently this is done manually but we would like to have the
tasks update automatically in B when they are updated in A.
What we have tried is to copy and paste as special (link) which would seem to work as intended.
Is this a reliable method of synchronizing a large number of tasks and subtasks or is there another way to solve this more reliably? When trying locally I've occasionally received errors roughly translated: "Could not connect
to link / broken link".
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Hi,
I strongly suggest you to avoid creating link with copy-paste special. It could introduce corruption in your projects.
I understand that you are not using project server thus a way for linking tasks between projects is to use the inter projects links. This allows you seeing the delays of external predecessors and accepting/rejecting it.
Here is the procedure:

URL won't link to local file on disk

I want to make an object link to a html file on the local disk (I can't be sure I'll have internet access when I'm presenting).
Keynote '08 seems to reject everything I've tried to do this; it doesn't accept "file://...." URLs. It seems to only accept "http://..." URLs. Hare-brain design aside, is there a way to do this?

Ironically I noticed the same problem today, too. My hack is to open the link in the background and then switch between the programs with Exposé or command-tab.

Firefox opens youtube links as a file to save

While browsing youtube.com, I am getting a regularly reocurring problem. For a while it will work perfectly, but eventually when I click a link to a different video, a window will pop up prompting me to choose between saving or running a file (as if I had downloaded a rar file or something).
The file is usually named according to the action I'm doing. For instance if I type in the search bar and hit enter, it might open a file to download or run named "search" (or something similair). With videos the file is named "watch", and occasionally youtube.com's index will even try to save.
I have the Downloadhelper addon (quick download of youtube videos and conversion) installed and am wondering if maybe this is causing the problem?
Only fix I have been able to find so far is restarting the browser, which is annoying, as I have a tendency to spend hours at a tiem on Youtube.
Windows 7 32 bit, E8400, Radeon HD4850, Firefox 3.3.6 (or whatever most recent is).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
